    Good for you!!! I quit 18 months ago, it is tough to do but so worth it. I feel better, BP is better and I am losing the weight I gained. Hang in there, also there is a great support website called Become an Ex.org. Tons of info and support. Congrats on a great decision.

    You did the right thing Josh! I quit June 13, 2009 after smoking for over 40 years. Don't know how this happened, but never had ONE craving- honest to gosh. Now have to lose the resulting weight and I'm optimistic I can do that, too. Good luck to you!

    This is just a message to say that I am a non-smoker, heart and soul, as of Tuesday last week, and officially for the first time since I was 13. I feel it inside me that I detest cigarettes, and I have never felt like this during the last times I have tried to quit. I have no interest in cigarettes, and I am loving myself right now! Post if you feel the same!

    The best type of quitter to be!!! Congrats. I quit about a year and three months ago cold turkey. Crazy how much I can't stand the smell anymore. For me, once I passed a year it was all behind me from there. Good luck!

    I quit smoking 7 years ago, and it's by far the best thing I ever did for myself health wise. I will tell you that even now I still have cravings on occasion, especially when seeing someone in a movie or on TV smoking. Odd then, that being around someone who is smoking doesn't cause cravings, just the opposite. I agree with one of the above posters that the smell now seems disgusting to me. :laugh: My checkbook certainly loves me a lot more now, as well.

    Congratulations!

    Quit compleely 10 years ago after off and on smoking for 20 years. I'm an obnoxious ex-smoker unfortunately. My husband tries and fails to quit periodically, whining about how hard it is, and I have no sympathy. Hard? How hard is it to stop sticking them between your lips and lighting them?

    Well it has been 9.5 hours since I quit, still no cravings at all. I do have to admit that I notice other people smoking everywhere I go.
